We are highly thankful to all the faculty members, who made our aim suc-

cessful, lets come towards the second issue of ORIC e-newsletter. We appreci-

ate and honor the decision of worthy Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor for es-

tablishing the ORIC at Jinnah University for Women.

The team of ORIC is launching the second issue of a monthly e-newsletter to inform

faculty and students about upcoming events, research funding opportunities, latest research

projects and other university activities. In this issue, you will find the details of international

conferences, innovative ideas to work on final year projects, informative articles and glimpse

of latest technologies.

It has been proved that innovation is a constant exercise to dream, working for making it a re-

ality and then dreaming again for something new. Nations which don’t take risks or embrace

the changes, fail to maintain their existence. We as Pakistanis, have the responsibility to work

for national security in the field of science and technology, culture, arts and history. We are the

generation of children of the flag bearers of independence, who successfully fought for their

creation of Pakistan. Let’s do it again, let’s join hands together to hold the flag of innovative

Pakistan.

Long Live Pakistan.

Intricate glass creations such as miniature castles and tiny pretzels can now be fabricated using 3D printing,

according to a new study. The technique could one day be used to manufacture lenses for Smartphone cam-

eras as well as other key glass components.

Archaeological research suggests humans have employed glassmaking for millennia. The process typically re-

quires hot furnaces and harsh chemicals. Recently, scientists have investigated whether they could sidestep

these drawbacks using 3D printing.

A 3D printer is a machine that creates items from a wide variety of materials: plastic, ceramic, metal and

even more unusual ingredients, such as living cells. These devices work by depositing layers of material, just

as ordinary printers lay down ink, except 3D printers can also deposit flat layers on top of each other to build

objects in three dimensions.

Until now, the only methods for shaping glass using 3D printing also required using a laser or heating the ma-

terials to searing temperatures of about 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 degrees Celsius), the researchers in

the new study said. In both cases, the end products were coarse, rough structures that were not suitable for

many applications, the researchers added.

Now, scientists have developed a new technique to fabricate complex glass structures using a standard 3D

printer. The secret, the researchers said, is something they call "liquid glass.

The scientists began with particles made of silica, the same material used to make glass. These particles were

only 40 nanometers, or billionths of a meter, wide, which is about 2,500 times thinner than the average

strand of human hair.

PRINTER April 27, 2017 | Article By Charles Q. Choi

These silica nano particles were dispersed in an acrylic solution. The researchers could then use a standard

3D printer to fabricate complex items using this "liquid glass," the study said. Ultraviolet light could harden

these objects into a kind of plastic similar to acrylic glass.

When these pieces of plastic were exposed to temperatures of about 2,370 degrees F (1,300 degrees C), the

plastic burned away while the silica nano particles fused together into smooth, transparent glass structures,

the study said. With the aid of additives, this technique can print colored glasses, tinted green, blue or red,

for example, the researchers said.

"Glass is one of the oldest materials that mankind has used, and it's still a high-performance material, and for

many applications, the only choice of material," Rapp said. "What our research does is bridge a necessary gap

between 21st-century manufacturing techniques and a material that's centuries old."

The commercial 3D printer the researchers used could print features as tiny as a few dozen microns. For

comparison, the average human hair is 100 microns wide.

This new method does not require harsh chemicals, and it produces glass components smooth and clear

enough for use as lenses and in other applications, the researchers said.

"You can think of creating tiny lenses for Smartphone cameras," Rapp said. "You can think about creating

chemically and thermally resistant micro reactors made from glass that chemical reactions can take place in."

This new technique could also help create optical and photonics components for high-speed data transmis-

sion, Rapp said. (Photonic devices manipulate light just as electronic circuits manipulate electricity.) "You can

also think much bigger, with 3D curved pieces of glass for architecture," Rapp s

BODY MASS INDEXBODY MASS INDEXBODY MASS INDEXBODY MASS INDEX

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square

of height in meters. A high BMI can be an indicator of high body fatness

To calculate BMI, you need to know your weight and height in kilo-grams and cen-

timeters or meters. The weight of a person is then divided by the height. People of

the same age and sex have different BMI depending on the amount of fat content

Formula of calculating Body Mass Index (BMI):

INTERNSHIP & JOB FAIR 2017

(17-18 FEBRUARY 2017)

Jinnah University for Women visited a mega Job Fair on the 17th & 18th February, 2017. This

fair was organized by department of public administration, UoK.. With more than 90 compa-

nies in attendance, this fair brought together some of the biggest names in the industry.

All day students dropped their CV’s and interacted with the various industry representatives to

glean the all-important information about the market requirements from the students these

days.

Job fairs provide students with the chance to meet employers face-to-face, to learn about cur-

rent vacancies and opportunities available, and to market yourself to prospective employers.

All fairs have several talks you can attend as well, about the sector and opportunities within it

– and often the opportunity to get advice on your CV from professionals.
